In general, it is advisable to begin cooking with the selector in the UP and DOWN
position, then turn it to the upper or lower position after a few minutes depending on the
size and shape of the food. To turn on the griddle only, set timer control and select
UP heating element.
Preheating:
1. Due to the manufacturing process, smoke and odor may be emitted during the first
few uses. It is normal and causes no harm.
2. We recommend pre-heating the toaster oven/broiler to eliminate the smoke and odor.
3. Be sure to place the oven on a flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface.
Pre-heat the oven in a well-ventilated area and do not exceed 5 minutes.
4. Ensure timer is set to the "OFF" position and plug into a 120V AC outlet.
5. Set the Timer and pre-heat the oven for 15-30 minutes at the maximum temperature
or until smoke and odor no longer exist.
6. Turn the timer to the "OFF" position, remove the plug from wall outlet, and allow the
oven to cool.
HELPFUL TIP
The Toaster Oven has been designed to utilize everyday
recipes. However, temperatures and times may vary.
We recommend you monitor the cooking progress by checking
your meals frequently during operation to ensure ideal cooking
results.

HOW TO USE
1. Preheat the oven for 2 minutes. Especially when using the baking tray. When
toasting, place the food directly on the grill, without the baking tray. Keep the door
closed while the oven is in use.
2. The oven may be used to defrost and heat up frozen food; the time will depend on
the size and temperature of the food.
3. To ensure uniform defrosting, divide the food into small pieces and wrap them in
aluminum foil.
CAUTION:
• To prevent countertop from being damaged, the toaster oven must be operated with
the crumb tray securely in place and cleaned of excess food.

to cook, place it on the chrome bake rack, and then slide the rack into proper
rack slot.
• Always leave at least 1 inch between food and the top heating elements.
• Remove all paper and plastic from any TV dinner dish before placing it in the toaster
oven. Always read the cooking instructions on the package of TV dinner to make
sure that it is toaster oven safe.

shut-off the unit in the middle of operation, turn the Timer to "OFF".
• Never leave the oven unattended during operation.
